Man this section of the forum is dead....time to liven things up a bit! Solas 12 vein pump and prop installed today. I'll be doing some testing tomorrow, we'll see if it lives up to the hype. You can see in the pics just how much larger the nozzle is. It was so much wider that I had to grind...

Yeah the destroyers were night and day difference. The best way I can describe it is; Without the tubbies its like the ski felt really tippy and unstable from side to side. The whole "driving a pencil" feeling is 100% spot on as far as how the ski felt in stock form. Coming from a superjet...

Alright, finally installed the Ada head kit. Pretty easy, just used grease to keep the o rings from moving around when laying the cover/domes onto the head. I decided not to run dual cooling at this point and keep the hose hookup thing from the factory for convenience. I'll throw up a short vid...

Interesting, I wish I would have have done that. That looks clean! You should show us how it turns out. I would put some padding up there though for safety IMO. Don't' want to land hard on unpadded fiberglass, that could break something. It hurts hitting your shins on the side of the hull after...

Yes! I know exactly what you are talking about. Rails: For the rails I just picked up the turf rail kit from blowsion. It worked perfect and I would highly recommend it, took about 20 minutes to install. The turf is cut at the bottom of the rail and does not wrap around underneath. Whoever had...

I got the 28cc domes as well, the "green" color of the head wasn't as neon/bright as I thought it would be. But IMO I think it still looks better than clear! Optima even threw in a t-shirt, these guys frickin rock. I'll test the compression and post the results once I get it up and running here...

Exactly, thinking about maybe picking up a cheap beat up 750 hull and trying something like this next winter. Yamaha prices going up, kawai prices going down…only makes sense to go kawi. Afterall, the first bob hull was just a hacked up 650 (at least I heard). You gotta post some videos of this...

Just received mine today actually! I had to wait about 1 month or so, totally worth the wait it's too cold to ride here anyways. I just ended up getting the 91 octane domes because I don't want to have to run race gas. Anyways, I might get some time this weekend to install it, gotta get my...

Thanks guys. I've been busy with work, but I've got a green ADA head kit coming here soon. I'll post install picks as soon as I have time to work on the ski.

I didn't reinforce the hood, although that would probably be a good idea. I only did carbon on the sides of the ski. The nose was "re-built" by the guys who painted it where they basically replaced a large section of the nose. I was told they just used fiberglass, which should be stronger than...

Nope bought it used about 2 years ago. Yeah, it does look like oil, not sure what would cause that. I'm thinking about just replacing all the ebox components, this thing is so old I'm sure something else will crap out here shortly anyways.

Finally got around to taking the ebox apart and the fly wheel cover off to take a look around. Stator looks ok, some wired discoloring though I'm not sure if this is normal. The cdi box looks like it might be the problem, it looks kinda melted. Does this look normal? Ski is a 96sxi.

Thanks for the input. Tank valve is good. I Think I'm going to just replace the coil and try that first. Who knows how old the electronics in this thing are.

This happens every time I go out. I pull the ski off the trailer, starts right up. Drive around the lake for a bit, drop the ski off at the beach. Then I try and start the ski again after about 1 min, won't start. I bypassed the water running to the temp sensor because I thought that was the...

Sick. Wish I would have cut mine up before I got it painted. How much did u cut?
